Defensive Line

Brandon Williams

Michael Pierce

Brent Urban

Bronson Kaufusi

Chris Wormley

Carl Davis

Willie Henry

There will be big expectations for the defensive line this season with Brandon Williams back. He’s fresh off a big payday and will team up with Michael Pierce in the middle of the line. Along with those two you can also add Carl Davis and Willie Henry into the rotation. Both have dealt with injuries and have not seen much playing time, but will get a chance to play this season.

Defensive end is where things start to get tricky. With Lawrence Guy and Timmy Jernigan gone, there are two starting spots to fill. This leaves a lot of young and unproven talent to take over. Bronson Kaufusi, Brent Urban and Chris Wormley will all get a crack at the starting jobs on the edge.
